Settings

Zed settings

Code lenses are off by default in Zed. To see the run buttons above tests:

{
  "code_lens": "on"
}

Use "menu" instead to list lenses inside the code action menu.

Inlay hints are off by default as well. The executing-step label and the per-step durations are inlay hints, so they appear only with:

{
  "inlay_hints": {
    "enabled": true
  }
}

Both settings can live under "languages": { "TypeScript": { ... } } if you prefer them per language. Without them the extension runs tests exactly the same; only the labels are absent.

Extension defaults

Folder or team defaults for the extension’s own options live in one settings block, in .zed/settings.json of the repository or in your user settings. Each key applies until you toggle the option yourself in the editor; changes take effect without a restart:

{
  "lsp": {
    "playwright": {
      "settings": {
        "projects": ["chromium", "firefox"],
        "showTrace": false,
        "reuseBrowser": false
      }
    }
  }
}

Key	Default	Meaning
projects	first project	The projects selected until you pick some yourself; see Projects. Zed-only, upstream has no equivalent.
showTrace	false	Record and show traces by default; see Trace viewer. Upstream setting name.
reuseBrowser	false	Show the browser by default; see Show browser. Upstream setting name.

A remembered in-editor choice wins over the default. Where the choices are stored is on the State files page.

Environment

• PLAYWRIGHT_ZED_STATE_DIR moves the state directory. Set it in the environment Zed starts from.
• PLAYWRIGHT_ZED_SERVER_ENTRY points the extension at a locally built language server instead of the npm package (for contributors; see the repository README).
